In the footage—
After Liza arrived, her Charizard, Charla, rubbed Charizard's solid arms with a look of being in love.
Brock looked on, filled with envy. Charizard's appearance wasn't just about becoming stronger; he even got a girlfriend in the valley! And this girlfriend seemed very clingy.
How could Brock, who has never been successful in love, not be envious?
After a small episode, and once everyone told Liza and Charizard about the situation, Liza said on the spot that she would help.
Charizard gave Ash a thumbs up—it's handled! Immediately afterward, the two Charizards took them directly to the deepest part of the Dragon's Den in a hot air balloon. That place is also known as the Holy Land.
The steward told everyone there was a flame in the sanctuary that would never be extinguished and could distinguish between good and evil—the Holy Fire! When Ash heard it, he instantly had a bad feeling.
"Charizard! Hurry up! With Team Rocket's track record, they will definitely attack the flame! If we don't hurry… It's going to be too late!"
Ash knew Team Rocket's habits all too well—insatiable, wanting to steal every treasure! If they knew about the eternal Holy Fire, they would definitely make a move!
Just as Ash thought, once Team Rocket reached the Holy Land, Meowth translated that there was a treasure in the altar.
They started thinking crookedly. Dragonite had been quite good to them, even though they were deceiving him. He helped them wholeheartedly, bringing food and water.
They felt a little guilt about stealing the treasure. But... they're bad guys! In the heart of a villain, guilt is like crocodile tears!
The three sneaked into the altar while Dragonite was asleep and took the golden basin with the flame!
However, just as they grabbed it, the flame burned onto James's arm as if it had consciousness! The burning sensation made James throw the flame instantly.
The eternal flame immediately ignited the flowers and trees around the temple! The beautiful sanctuary began to burn!
Dragonite was awakened by the noise. Seeing Team Rocket and the bright fire, he realized what was happening.
He didn't expect the three people who claimed to be victims would harm the sacred flame and set fire to the Dragon's Den! Anger flooded Dragonite's brain.
He flew to them and began to attack indiscriminately!
Hyper Beam erupted from his mouth! The golden pillar of light penetrated the heavens and earth, blasting a huge ravine in the burning region!
The scorching energy created immense heat, making the flames burn even larger! Dragonite had completely lost its mind and began to frantically chase Team Rocket.
The fire and explosions attracted Ash and the others.
"Charizard, that way! Hurry up!"
"Roar!!"
Charizard roared, and his speed increased again! He had been waiting for Charla, but now there was no time for romance.
On the other side, Team Rocket was caught by Dragonite, and a golden pillar of destruction burst out! The air seemed to shatter!
At a critical moment, Jessie released the "Fruit God"—Wobbuffet—to block the attack! Mirror Coat bounced back Dragonite's own Hyper Beam! It hit Dragonite directly, knocking him down.
However, before Team Rocket could celebrate, Dragonite, wrapped in roaring flames, flew up again.
He was now in a blind rage! A Hyper Beam twice as thick as before burst out! The four members of Team Rocket hugged each other in fright, and Wobbuffet no longer had the strength to use Mirror Coat again…
At this moment, a blazing flame descended from the sky, blocking that terrifying Hyper Beam! A huge explosion sounded, blowing the Team Rocket quartet away! They rolled on the ground for more than ten meters.
In the sky, Ash's Charizard slowly landed, and Charla was coming quickly behind him.
If Ash had come one step later, even with their near-superhuman physiques, Team Rocket would have died under that Elite Four-level Hyper Beam!
"Dragonite! Stop it!!"
Ash jumped off the hot air balloon and shouted, but Dragonite, having touched its "reverse scales," couldn't hear him.
He was temporarily immobilized by the side effects of Hyper Beam; once he could move, he would start attacking again!
After Team Rocket saw Ash, it was as if they had seen a savior. They held onto Ash's legs. Although they are usually enemies, just like in the Crystal Tower, they help each other in real danger. However, this time… Team Rocket went too far!!
"Dragonair, use Rain Dance!"
Clair released Dragonair and had it use Rain Dance. Rain fell, and the fire began to slowly extinguish. Brock and Misty also released their Water and Rock Pokémon to help put out the fire. Liza took Charla to rescue the Pokémon in the flames.
"Roar!!!"
At this time, Dragonite had recovered. He raised his head and let out a long roar, filled with rage! Clair slowly walked toward Dragonite, saying:
"Dragonite, it's me! Clair! Don't you recognize me?"
"Roar!!"
Responding to Clair was another golden pillar of Hyper Beam! The terrifying power headed straight for Clair; she could even smell the breath of death…
"Boom!!"
Blazing flames once again blocked the pillar of light. Ash grabbed Clair, catching her as she was pushed back by the shockwave. Fortunately, Charizard reacted in time… otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Dragonite! What is wrong with you?! Look around! Isn't this your favorite home?! Isn't it the home you're supposed to protect?! Aren't you going to guard the Pokémon here?! Calm down!"
"It's useless, Ash…"
Clair slowly stood up from Ash's arms, her blue eyes looking at Dragonite. She understood his current state.
"Now, Dragonite has entered a state of Outrage…"
